There is something wonderful about eating a young lamb when you had cared for it since inception. I ensured it’s happy, carefree, grass fed existence. I clipped hooves, rotated paddocks, and kept it healthy (organically). It was killed humanely and butchered by a bona fide butcher. 

Mrs BYF did justice to the lamb by roasting the joint to perfection.

Preheat the oven on the hottest setting, leave at this setting for 30 min before putting the meat in.
1 lamb forequarter – as much peeled garlic as you like – a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, olive oil, a few organic lemons and salt 
One hour before cooking, brush the joint with oil, put a bit of oil in the oven pan. Make holes all over and stick the garlic cloves down as far as possible. I find that keeping the knife in and twisting it slightly to create a small gap so one can slide the garlic down the blade stops the garlic from popping out. Break the Rosemary in to 2 cm pieces and stick them all over as well. Put the meat in the oven and leave the high setting for 10 minutes then turn the heat down to 180C for about 2 hours.
